NED Vs AFG Match Prediction
NED Vs AFG Key Stats
- Netherlands and Afghanistan have locked horns with each other a total of nine times in ODIs, and Afghanistan have dominated in a massive way as they have won seven of those encounters. Netherlands have won only twice but here they have a chance to better that record.
- The last time the Dutch won against the Afghans was way back in 2012. They have met four times since then and Netherlands have lost on all four occasions.
- In the ongoing World Cup campaign, both Afghanistan and Netherlands have impressed everyone with their spirited performances. While the Dutch have beaten teams like South Africa and Bangladesh, Afghanistan have gotten the better of England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka
NED Vs AFG Match Preview
Netherlands will lock horns with Afghanistan in the 34th match of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Friday, November 3.
The Dutch are sitting in eighth place in the World Cup table right now having won two out of their six games so far. Afghanistan have done even better as they are occupying the sixth place having won three of their six matches so far.
Netherlands Preview
Scott Edwards and his men have delivered some spirited performances in this World Cup campaign, but their highlight of this tournament remains their thrilling win against South Africa. Nobody expected to see them beating a rampaging Proteas team, but they did and showed the world what they are capable of.
Netherlands also won their last match against Bangladesh quite comprehensively by a margin of 87 runs. But it's going to be pretty tough against an Afghan team that is flying high after their recent victories against top teams like England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Netherlands - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Scott Edwards, the Netherlands skipper, is expected to be their best batter in this contest. Edwards is also the highest run scorer for Netherlands in this World Cup, with 204 runs to his name at an average of 51.

Afghanistan Preview
Afghanistan were always a talented team when it came to their bowling, but they always failed to compete with top teams as their batting hadn't quite developed in all these years.
But now it looks like Afghanistan's first generation of world class batters has finally arrived. The likes of Ibrahim Zadran, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai have impressed everyone.
They took the world by storm when they defeated England but their win against Pakistan was more impressive as they chased down 283 with eight wickets in hand. That sums up how far their batting has come and they will be eager to carry the momentum forward into this game.
Afghanistan - Who Will Be The Best Batter?
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is expected to score a lot of runs here. He has amassed 224 runs in this World Cup, including two fifties. He is averaging 37.33 with a strike-rate of just a shade under 100.

Afghanistan - Who Will Be The Best Bowler?
Rashid Khan could be the highest wicket-taker for Afghanistan in this match. The Dutch batters are a bit weak against quality wrist-spin and that's why Rashid could pick up plenty of wickets here. He has claimed seven wickets in this World Cup so far, at an excellent economy rate of 4.88.

NED Vs AFG - Who Will Be The Player Of The Match?
Azmatullah Omarzai has high chances of claiming the Player of The Match award here as he has been in superb form with both bat and ball. With the bat, Omarzai has amassed 203 runs at an excellent average of 50.75 and he has also claimed five wickets with his bowling.
NED Vs AFG - Who Will Win Today's Toss?
The team winning the toss here should always opt to bat first. Although teams batting first and second have won an equal number of matches here, it is better to bat first as the deck becomes favourable for the spinners as the game progresses. So, it is always better to put some runs on the board first and defend it.
NED Vs AFG Venue, Pitch and Weather Report
The deck in Lucknow is slow in nature with average first innings score being 217 in a total of eight ODI matches played here. The track undergoes significant change as the match progresses and the spinners get more help in the second innings due to the wear and tear in the track.
Bright and sunny skies are in store for Friday, but it's going to be a bit humid with temperatures hovering around 32 degree Celsius. The conditions could be quite difficult for the side fielding first.
NED Vs AFG Match Winner Prediction
Both sides have delivered some spirited performances in this tournament but Afghanistan have looked more convincing in all departments.
Moreover, the Dutch batters will find it quite difficult to deal with Afghanistan's world class spin trio of England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. So, Afghanistan are the clear favourites to win this match.
